Description
Not owned by jadot but they have a monopoly of the production. Dense dark ruby in colour, with a wealth of fruit on the nose, this starts well and finishes even better, with lovely fruit and oak balance. The Pommard tannins are nicely tamed. Drink 2026-2034.

The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Clos de la Commaraine has an outgoing and almost Volnay-like bouquet with copious red cherry and strawberry tart aromas neatly integrated with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet ripe red cherry and raspberry fruit, fine tannin and a pleasant spice-tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. This is simply a lovely Pommard to enjoy over the next decade.Neil Martin - 30/12/2016
About this wine
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
